-------------------------------------
This patch is really helpful. I know it is added to hadoop-2.1.0-Beta. I've
install this version of hadoop but I don't know how to set the block placement.
I've searched everywhere. please help me.
Thanks
> Namenode should have a favored nodes hint to enable clients to have control

> Sometimes Clients like HBase are required to dynamically compute the
> datanodes it wishes to place the blocks for a file for higher level of
> locality. For this purpose there is a need of a way to give the Namenode a
> hint in terms of a favoredNodes parameter about the locations where the
> client wants to put each block. The proposed solution is a favored nodes
> parameter in the addBlock() method and in the create() file method to enable
> the clients to give the hints to the NameNode about the locations of each
> replica of the block. Note that this would be just a hint and finally the
> NameNode would look at disk usage, datanode load etc. and decide whether it
> can respect the hints or not.
